Welcome to Taekwondo!

Taekwondo means literally the art of striking with the hand and kicking with the foot.

Choong Sil Kwan means literally the School of Constant and Never Ending Improvement.

Meaning of the White Belt - The white belt signifies innocence, as that of a beginning student who has no previous knowledge of Taekwondo.

As a new student of Taekwondo, you are entering an ancient system for training both your mind and body. Taekwondo is a martial art which developed in Korea over thousands of years.  Taekwondo means literally “the art of striking with the hand and kicking with the foot.”  It is known for its many beautiful kicks.

Our style of Taekwondo is known as Choong Sil Kwan, which means literally the School of Constant and Never Ending Improvement.  This means that everyone in our school, even your instructors and black belts, are working to become better. 

The first stage of Improvement that a student enters is the Imagination level. Everyone has different reasons for training in Taekwondo, but we all share the fact that we have a dream. At this point we emphasize the importance of not only visualizing results, but also setting both short and long range goals which will enable us to reach our dreams. 

White Belt represents the beginning of your journey into the world of martial arts.  People begin training for many reasons. However, whatever your reason for beginning, you will receive many benefits from your efforts.

The diligent study of martial arts will improve your physical conditioning, flexibility, strength, and reflexes, while developing confidence, concentration, focus, and character. The Choong Sil system is developed around our philosophy of goal setting, and development of a strong work ethic. 

As with all worthwhile pursuits, you will receive the benefits in direct relation to the effort you invest.
